Sports Briefing | Soccer: Juventus Wins Italian Cup

Juventus, the Serie A champion, added the Italian Cup title to its trophy case with a 2-1 win at Lazio in extra time on Wednesday, with the substitute Alessandro Matri scoring in the 97th minute on a low shot that Lazio goalkeeper Etrit Berisha got his hands on but could not stop. Juventus, which won its record 10th Italian Cup title, but its first since 1995, is now on the verge of a treble: The team will play Barcelona in the Champions League final in Berlin on June 6.

u25a0 Chelsea’s Cesc Fàbregas, who kicked the ball at an opposing player’s head during a break in play Monday, had his three-match Premier League ban reduced to one game after an appeal, meaning he will be available for the start of next season.
